| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Old thread but still interesting I believe.I own both an Ultimate 4D X /TB and Ultimate 100 / TB . Before them I had a Yatra SB and for a short time an Airy 3 TB.I just want to add my findings with both the Ultimate cartridges, by saying that both... | |
| Benz Refs stripped screw hole Benz has a wooden shell but the chassis is threaded aluminium.Threads are 2.5 mm so perhaps if you try 2.6mm screws might help ? | |
| Review: New Valve Order SPA II Tube preamp Has anyone listened to the latest SPA-II/2 SE? | |
| Benz micro glider vs dynavector 20X2 IMO if the Glider is "warm",the 20x is coloured.I don't agree that the 20x is "accurate" or more accurate than the glider,especially the last version with the MR tip.I'd say the 20x is a very good "hi-fi" cartridge, the glider is a "music" cartridge. | |
| Phono Preamp price range $2000-$4000 NVO SPA ONE and SPA ONE Special Edition are great for both MM and LOMC cartridges | |
| Stand out phono stages NVO SPA-II Special Edition | |
| SME 309 Headshell Postition Push the headshell in untill before spring action of the pins.Then put the locking allen bolt in the headshell's hole and gently push the headshell again further back.When the springs are compressed the bolt will fall through the slot by itself.Th... | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade Gondo101,If you are happy as you say with your ortofon arm then a logical upgrade could be one of ortofon's own,or even Jelco's 12" versions. | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade I have set up my system very carefully and that is why I commended as I did.An SME V didn't do it when I was experimenting,as well as other tonearms.When I "tuned" the sme's mass to match that of the rb300 and my cartridges, well, yes the V sounde... | |
| Pro-Ject turntables There are many nice vta adjusters for the regas that make things very easy. | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade All high quality tonearms will improve with a better cartridge.The cartridge (correctly matched to a tonearm) will make the bigger improvement.Many years ago, a reviewer (if I remember well it was Alvin Gold in HNRR magazine)reviewed the RB300 and... | |

| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade Puting arm/cartridge compatibility aside for a moment....It would be interesting to have some more comments when we talk about "upgrades".Most of the time we mean differences(that we either prefer or not) and yes, tonearms sound different from one... | |
| Review: Audio-Technica USA AUDIO TECHNICA AT-20SS. Cartridge I have both a AT-20SS LE and a AT-20SLA LE/ATN-20SS hybrid and I find the "hybrid" to sound a bit better balanced.The specs of the AT-20SLA speak of lower inductance than the AT-20SS.I was lucky to find also a NOS AT-24 and two ATN-25 replacement ... | |
| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 +1 for the JELCO, but since the question is Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 I'd go for the Rega , especially if a more demanding cartridge might be used in the future.I own a Linn Basik Plus on one of my turntables and I like it but it just can't r... |
